strong and tender feeling and much simple,
moving eloquence He told how he had seen
them lying ON the field after the battle, their
white or ashen gray faces, with contracted
muscles, taking ghastly or distorted shape or
again wearing smiles of seraphic sweetness.
He became poet in describing the scene.
His friends and neighbors listened with tear
full attention and felt a new and deeper
respect for the brave and loyal old soldier.
That evening the Hatton family sat down
to supper in unusual spirits. The captain
was still under the influence of the days
hallowed glory; and, for the first time in
their lives, his wife and children were proud
of his abnormal patriotism.
His son brought letters and handed them to
his father before they seated themselves at

He turned toward the disturbed group at
the table with look in his eyes the like of
which they had never seen, and which they
never will be able to forget. 1t had in it I'M
speakable establishment, overwhelming an
gulSh and something else not translatable to
the limited spiritual perceptions of those who
saw it, That something was not Of this
world. 1t was beam from the unseen sun
of infinity shining through the old soldiers
surprised eyes Instantly all were awed into
silence. Instnctively they recognized that
something uIightier than their wills con-
fronted them-something they could not I'M
derstand.
The old soldier began to rise TO his
feet His lips moved but no sound came
forth Slowly he 9ank back into the chair
again. The light faded out of his eyes and
his face grew asnen white. The awestruck
family locked at bim with sprechless tongues.

A Great Victory
A Terrible Case of Scrofula
Cured by
Hoods SarsapariIIa

" In the winter of 1879 was attacked with
Scrofula in one of the most aggravating forms.
At one time | had no less than thirteen large
assesses over and around my neck and throat,
continually exuding an offensive mass Of
bloody matter disgusting to behold, and
almost int0lerable to endure. 1t is impossible
to fully describe my sufferings, as the case
was complicated with Chronic Catarrh. After
three years of misery, having been treated by
three physicians, | was worse than ever.
Finally, on the recommendation of W. J.
Huntley, druggist, of Lockport was induced
to try Hoods Sarsaparilla. And now, after
having taken twelve bottles, within the last
twelve months, the scrofulous eruptions have
entirely ceased, and the assesses have all
disappeared. except the unSlghtly scars, which
are daily becoming smaller by degrees, and
beautifully less / do not know what il NAV

about per cent. of the quantity pro

of the area i'll cereals, and produces greater
